4 builders who never spoke to each other
Put a one-minute video of your face in the message
A short recording saying who you are and what you would change carries more than the same words typed, because it proves a person made it for this recipient. Four builders use it at different points, in a cold pitch postscript, as a walkthrough of the prospect's own page, and triggered off every new signup.
The method
- 01
Add a postscript containing a one-minute personal video that says who you are and why you want to work with them specifically.
- 02
Record a short personalised video for the prospect, ideally showing the specific improvements you would make to their existing page or campaign.
- 03
Record one video that works for every prospect instead of filming each one individually, which shortens the nurture stage without the per-lead cost.
- 04
Record a personal video for every single person who signs up, triggered off your CRM.
What it returned
The video postscript produced two career-defining relationships, three case studies and substantial income for Maguire.
Haines names Bonjoro as the tool for this and calls one-to-one video a must for every product, for conversion as well as retention.
